Splinters - Therefore I Am

So they say, hey kid

Why can’t you keep your head up?

Please stop pleading

And start acting like yourself

Well, who the hell is that anyway?

So with no signs of relief

I seem to see more sense

In holding hands with the dead

While I lay alone, while I lay below

The photos, the milestones

'Cause my friend told me

She’ll settle deep

Like a pain in the palm of your hand

Can’t you see, man, it’s not all that easy

'Cause I, I don’t know

I don’t know what love means

No, I don’t know what love means

At least let me see

The golden road that you promised

Just give me back

My jaded heart that you’ve stolen

You left me high and dry

What good is wax

Without a wick to burn it all away

What good is hope when all you’ve left me

Is a fabricated fair weather phrase

'Cause my friend told me

She’ll settle deep

Like a pain in the palm of your hand

Can’t you see, man, it’s not all that easy

'Cause I, I don’t know

Maybe I’m just a kid

Maybe I’ve sunken into some quarter life crisis

I don’t know

Maybe it is this weight

Darkness that makes me shake

Keeps us all alive

I don’t know

'Cause my friend told me

She’ll settle deep

Like a pain in the palm of your hand

Can’t you see, man, it’s not all that easy

'Cause my friend told me

She’ll settle deep

Like a pain in the palm of your hand

Can’t you see, man, it’s not all that easy

'Cause I, I don’t know, I don’t know
